Vicodin Charges in Columbus

Columbus Criminal Defense Lawyer

Though most people associate drug charges with illegal street drugs such as
heroin or cocaine,
drug crime charges may also be filed for the unlawful
possession, distribution,
sale and trafficking of prescription drugs. Vicodin is one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs.

You will need a knowledgeable and aggressive defense lawyer to protect
your interests in the face of these charges, and our law firm can provide
you with the level of legal counsel you deserve.

Vicodin is a brand name for a medication that contains hydrocodone and
paracetamol (acetaminophen), used to relive moderate to severe pain. Because
Vicodin is a prescription drug, it may only be lawfully used, distributed
or possessed if a patient has a valid prescription by an authorized physician.
Possessing or distributing Vicodin without a prescription or lawful authority
may result in criminal charges. Vicodin is classified as a Schedule II
substance.

When a defendant faces charges or an investigation involving Vicodin or
